Why a call to Croatia fails
The 0 stays on the number
The 0 at the start of a Croatian number only works for calls made inside the country. From abroad, drop it: +385 takes its place, so 01 2345 678 becomes +385 1 2345 678.
The exit code is wrong for your country
00 works from Croatia, the rest of Europe, and most of the world. From the US and Canada, dial 011 before 385, not 00.
The number does not take calls from abroad
Numbers that start with 0800 or 0801 are free inside Croatia, but often will not connect when you call them from outside the country.
